Links in header tags
-
Hello Seomozzers
I have a query, is it good to have links in h2, h3, h4 tags. Does it have a positive factor over on page optimisation or a negative factor.
Thanks

The use of h1 h2 and so on do not have to be related to the title. Because of CSS a h1, h2 and h3 can be re-sized and styled to appear as a regular link. Google gives more juice to h1, h2 and h3 tags however so the SEO benefits would be good so long as the links are relative to the page content. So how they are written is very important.

I'm not sure what the effect would be, but I don't believe it would be beneficial to the visitor. If they are looking at the title of a section, and its telling me to leave this page I might be a little confused.

If the wording of the links is relative and an ideal keyword than it would benefit the SEO of your page in my opinion keeping in mind that if it is going to be repeated on every page that you have that navigation so it could be very useful for one page and not so useful for another.

Too many outbound links on a page?
We have a "Clients" page on our site with approximately 125 of our clients listed. We have a link to each client's website, so that's 125 links. I am rethinking this approach. Is there any value to having these outbound links? The SEOmoz PRO analysis tells me I have too many links on this page. I have read that more than 100 links on a page is too many, but that seemed to be referring to internal links. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Does Title Tag have to be in the HEAD tag?
We are using templates that load the same header for every page. I'd like to just include a different title tag in the "body" template of each page. If I was to do this, does it affect SEO at all?

Site Wide Link
I have just run up the link explorer on my site and discovered that every page home page link points back with the text home - I assume this is bad in terms of SEO , my site name is ccie and I assumed that it put the site wide link of ccie to the entire site, however it seems to be the breadcrumb default of home which is doing it/. www.rogerperkin.co.uk/ccie Should I be looking to change this so my top keyword points back from each page to the home page. I am running wordpress and assumed the site name was the home link on all pages. Can anyone advise the best practice? Thanks
